Centium Software signs on as technology partner

Centium Softwares leading event management
solution will be showcased at MEETINGS, the official trade
show of Conventions & Incentives New Zealand (CINZ).

CINZ
has signed a three-year partnership with Centium Software
that means it becomes MEETINGS chosen technology
partner.

Centium Software provides software solutions that
have become the benchmark for technology in the meetings
industry for nearly 20 years in New Zealand. Its
sophisticated yet user-friendly system offers unrivalled
functionality in the management of events, conferences and
meetings.

"The highlight of MEETINGS is our
appointment programme and Centiums EventsPro drives this
so well. Events Pro has been a great partner for us over the
past 18 years. The online diary aspect is unrivalled and we
have used this event management solution since 1997 when
MEETINGS first started," Ms Stanton says.

"We have been working with
our New Zealand customers since 1995 and are committed to
providing great event management software solutions to the
market," Mr Gardiner says.

"We know that companies in New
Zealand who have invested in EventsPro and now Events
NextGen are committed to quality. With our long-standing
history, we are excited to be a large part of making
MEETINGS happen."

MEETINGS is being held this year at the
Auckland ASB Showgrounds on June 18 and 19.
